About Me

Danish writer/director, giant film geek, music lover, traveller and motorcycle freak. Grew up in Odense, Denmark in a family of five. Two older sisters who are now studying medical science. Always trying to become better and better at filmmaking and the narrative. Always searching for a good story.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why do we travel? I travel to experience a new culture and new land I've never seen before. Now, to me culture is mainly the people and the history of the country as found in the architecture and tales. If I wanted to read about a country or a culture as I would in a museum, I could just as well have stayed at home. No, I travel to meet the people of the world and the through them see the world through their eyes.

Interests

Love music (especially folk, jazz, and film scores), photography, storytelling, listening, film (obviously) my motorcycle.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think my so far biggest accomplishment professionally is writing and directing my first feature length film the summer of 2015. It was incredibly difficult and extremely exhausting. The best and worst period of my life I usually say ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

If you wanna know anything about filmmaking in Denmark and Europe I'm pretty big on that. If you wanna learn about longboarding, motorcycles, skiing and scuba diving I have limited knowledge but huge enthusiasm and if you wanna know about puppy care I'm pretty much worthless but nevertheless interested.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My culture and my stories. If you want to learn some danish, I'll help you out! If you want to know about danish films we'll probably be able to work something out there too!
